Of major concern is that the Steelers have failed to win their most recent three games. Pittsburgh is fighting for its AFC playoff lives on Sunday against Baltimore. By contrast, the Ravens lead the AFC North Division. Despite that on-field success, Baltimore is in the red with the NFL betting odds. Injuries have ravaged the Raven lineup all season. In like manner, that has been the case with the Steelers. What has been frustrating for gamblers is Pittsburgh’s inability to run the ball. First-round draft pick Najee Harris hasn’t gotten much help at all from the offensive line.

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers SBG Odds Overview
Wise Guys will look hard at the Steelers as the home dog in a sportsbook rivalry game. Counter to that, squares will like the Ravens. The recent form is much more impressive for Baltimore than for Pittsburgh.
Baltimore Ravens Team Overview
Last week Baltimore beat Cleveland 16-10 as 3-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 47. As a result, Baltimore is 8-3 straight up, 5-6 against the spread, and 5-6 over/under. The Ravens rank 4th for total offense and 15th for scoring offense. While defensively, Baltimore ranks 19th overall and 9th for points allowed.
Despite throwing a career-high four interceptions, Lamar Jackson still produced one incredible moment of brilliance. To illuminate, Jackson pulled off one of his signature scrambles in the third quarter. Thus, he bought enough time to throw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews. And then the Ravens went on to victory. Jackson, who returned after missing last weekend’s win over Chicago with an illness, was subpar aside from that one TD throw.
Pittsburgh Steelers Team Overview
Last week the Steelers were annihilated by the Bengals 41-10 as 3.5-point away dogs. The game went over the total of 43. As a result, Pittsburgh is 5-5-1 straight up, 4-7 against the spread, and 4-7 over/under. Overall, the Steelers rank 22nd for total offense and 22nd for scoring offense. Defensively, Pittsburgh ranks 25th overall and 23rd for points allowed.
Former Steeler Mike Hilton’s Pick-6 of Ben Roethlisberger put Cincinnati up 31-3. Subsequently, it seemed to serve as a symbolic turning point in the Steelers’ longtime domination of the Bengals. Accordingly, the Cincinnati win followed a double-digit payout in September. Thus, it was Cincinnati’s first season sweep of the Steelers since 2009.
